The Facebook pixel

Our site uses a tool that is served by Facebook, called the Facebook pixel. This tool gives us the ability to show better ads to you on Facebook based on your behaviour on our site. This only applies if you are a Facebook user and have given Facebook your permission to show better ads to you. You can withdraw that consent at any time in the personal settings for your account on Facebook. Here is a link that lets you do that: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen

The Facebook pixel shares data about your behaviour on our site, which is then stored by Facebook. That lets us as advertisers on Facebook, along with other advertisers on Facebook, build target groups for our ads that to some extent uses that pixel data to create the target groups. The data is used at an aggregated level and can't be connected to you as an individual. Besides the pixel data other data about your behaviour on Facebook is also used. You can read Facebooks data policy for their users here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update

To turn off advertisements based on data about your behaviour on Facebook and other web pages and the Facebook pixel do this:

Go to settings on your Facebook account. Click on Ads in the menu and go to Ad settings on the page showing up. Change the settings for 'Ads based on data from partners' and 'Ads based on your activity on Facebook Company Products that you see elsewhere' from 'Allowed' to 'Not allowed'.
